Japan vs Canada Canada is f*cking around. We not only tolerate bad behavior from immigrants, we pretty much encourage it. To obtain Japanese citizenship (naturalization), you generally must have lived in Japan for 5+ consecutive years, be at least 18 years old, possess good conduct, have a stable livelihood (\(>3\) million yen annually), meet basic Japanese language proficiency (3rd-grade level), and renounce your original citizenship. Canada is much less stringent, and even then, the rules are often not enforced. Criminal behavior is no guarantee of deportation and may in fact, help ensure that criminals are allowed to stay because of the risk of deportation. Unbelievable.

Maybe it's actually the Liberals that suck at doing stuff. I concede that they excel at winning elections though. More pipelines would be huge moneymakers while this project is most likely going to be a huge financial drain. What Canada could do with the $90B it's blowing on high-speed rail It would be about the same price to build a second Canada on top of the first Solve Canada’s electricity deficit Since at least the 1960s, Canada has boasted some of the cheapest and most abundant electricity on earth. But over just the last few years, Canada has become a net importer of electricity. Canadian electricity exports used to power entire U.S. states. But now, for the first time, it’s Canada that needs U.S. electricity to keep the lights on. Deliver all that LNG the world is clamouring for Whenever a foreign leader or diplomat is asked what they most desire from Canada, the usual answer these days is “liquefied natural gas.” It could triple our Pacific oil exports https://archive.ph/u23Wf#selection-4683.0-4683.39

If or when all Canadian airlines switch to biofuels, whether willingly or by legislation, air travel will most certainly become much more expensive than it is now, and it's already expensive. Costs like this do get passed on to consumers whether one believes it or not, just as with the industrial carbon tax.

Needless to say, it was unnerving to get this in the mail earlier in the week. My property backs right up to the Trans Canada Trail which is apparently may be considered as part of the possible route where I live. The 401 is supposedly the slightly favored route at this time but I question the need for this project in the first place.

What Canada could do with the $90B it's blowing on high-speed rail It would be about the same price to build a second Canada on top of the first onservative Leader Pierre Poilievre said that if he ever became prime minister, he would scrap the Alto rail project, a $90-billion program announced in the final days of Justin Trudeau’s premiership that proposed to build high-speed rail between Toronto and Quebec City. Article content Article content Poilievre’s main stated objection to the project is that it will require extensive expropriations of private property across Ontario and Quebec. “The Carney Liberals will confiscate farmland and private property,” he told a press conference at a rural location in Peterborough, Ont., this week. But expropriations aside, $90 billion is a jaw-dropping sum of money for Canada to spend on anything, much less a project whose chief promise is that it would be about twice as fast as the existing VIA Rail service. Article content Given that Canada has roughly 22 million people who are net tax contributors, Alto would represent a starting cost of at least $4,000 per Canadian taxpayer. https://archive.ph/u23Wf#selection-3923.0-3937.156

How are leftists reacting to this? Leftist media says moon mission is a colonial attack on Indigenous beliefs So it was that on Wednesday, The Walrus, which touts itself as publishing fact-based journalism and provoking new thinking, ran an article headlined, “With the Artemis II Mission, the Lunar Land Grab Begins.” https://archive.ph/JUyRG#selection-4035.0-4049.1

But not nearly as bad as the situation is now under the Liberals.

If it's built, odds are that it will have to be financially propped up like Via Rail currently is because they aren't profitable.

The concern is that this project, if completed, will have to be heavily subsidized by taxpayers to stay afloat. And most certainly it is going to go way over budget. Is it even needed or is it simply a Liberal vanity project? The land expropriation process is going to be heavy handed thanks to Bill C-15 being passed. " And Bill C-15 has just rewritten the rules, declaring the project “for the general advantage of Canada,” securing federal jurisdiction and bypassing standard processes under the Canada Transportation Act. It streamlines the Impact Assessment Act and, most significantly, amends the federal Expropriation Act specifically for ALTO. If the Minister of Transport determines land is required, the Crown is automatically deemed to need it for a “public work.” There is no mandatory prior negotiation. Landowners receive abbreviated notice and a short 30-day window to file written objections, with no public hearings and many longstanding appeal rights stripped away or diluted. Farmers whose fields are bisected, drainage systems destroyed, and operations fractured will face a process that treats private property as an inconvenience to industry, rather than a right." https://www.rebelnews.com/latest_law_allows_liberals_to_clear_private_property_for_their_high_speed_rail_monstrosity Depending on the route that's chosen, I'm one of those that could have a big chunk of my property expropriated which of course will significantly drive down property values in this area. 7:00-10:00 , the downsides of this rail proposal.

Charlie Kirk was asked countless times by clueless students what his level of education and qualifications were. He kept showing them up and making them look foolish by citing facts and using logic. Kirk had already achieved far more than most of those students would in their lifetimes. Until finally, one of the leftists had had enough and decided to kill him.

As horrific as the results were in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, I think dropping the bombs was the right decision back then. I don't know what percentage of people in Tehran oppose the regime, but it's probably a significant number. Using nuclear weapons against Iran would turn most nations against the US, much more so than they are now. The war has started, and I would rather see the US getting more support from other countries in order to crush Iran's ability to shut down the Strait of Hormuz.

She's not wrong.

No. Are you allowed to use an equity card?

This article sums up Liberal tactics pretty well. Liberals have perfected the practice of announcing things they will never do The policy is always just to make an announcement, and then re-announce later on https://nationalpost.com/opinion/john-weissenberger-liberals-have-perfected-the-practice-of-announcing-things-they-will-never-do No denying that this tactic is very effective though, even as they continually accomplish next to nothing.

Perhaps the most ridiculous thing about keffiyehs are the white liberals that choose to wear them so they can virtue signal.

Literally THE huge red flag with the hammer and sickle on it. That party is bonkers.
